Answer:

15,000$

Step-by-step explanation:

According to the information given, profits are divided equally into 4 parts

Since the total profit for the first month is 100,000$ each party will receive a sum of 25,000$. This means that Y also receives the same amount

Now if the profits were divided in proportion to the investments made we first find the proportion on investment made by Y.

The total investment made is 6000$ + 2000$ + 8000$ + 4000$ = 20,000$. Out of this, the amount invested by Y is 8000$

finding the proportional profit of Y

\frac{8000}{20000} (100000)

=40,000$

So Y receives 40,000 - 25,000 = 15,000 less

There are 10 true-false questions and 20 multiple choice questions from which to choose a five-question quiz how many ways can t
beks73 [17]

Answer:

In 68229 ways can the quiz be selected such that there is atleast three multiple choice questions

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

Number of True or false questions= 10

Number of multiple choice questions= 20

To Find:

How many ways can 5 questions can be selected if there must be at least three multiple choice questions =?

Solution:

Combination

A combination is a mathematical technique that determines the number of possible arrangements in a collection of items where the order of the selection does not matter. In combinations, you can select the items in any order.  

The question States there sholud be ATLEAST 3 multiple choice question,

So, we may have

(3 Multiple choice question and 2 true or false question) or

(4 Multiple choice question and 1 true or false question) or

(5 Multiple choice question and 0 true or false question)

Required Number of ways = (20C3 X10C2) +(20C4 X10C1) + (20C5 X10C0)

Required Number of ways =(\frac{20!}{20!(20-3)!}\times\frac{10!}{10!(10-2)!})+(\frac{20!}{20!(20-4)!} \times \frac{10!}{10!(10-1)!}) +(\frac{20!}{20!(20-4)!} \times \frac{10!}{10!(10-0)!})

Required Number of ways = ( 1140 x 42) + (4845 x 10) +(15504 x 1)

Required Number of ways = 47880+48450+15504

Required Number of ways = 68229

Dr. Potter provides vaccinations against polio and measles. Each polio vaccination consists of 444 doses, and each measles vacci
nataly862011 [7]

Answer:

37 polio vaccinations and 23 measles vaccination.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the number of polio vaccination given=x

Let the number of measles vaccination given=y

Dr. Potter gave a total of 60 vaccinations

x+y=60

Since each polio vaccination consists of 4 doses, and each measles vaccination consists of 2 doses. A total of 184 doses was given out.

4x+2y=184

To find the values of x and y, we solve the two equations simultaneously.

x+y=60             (1)

4x+2y=184        (2)

From (1), x=60-y

Substitute x=60-y into equation 2.

4x+2y=184

4(60-y)+2y=184

240-4y+2y=184

240-184=4y-2y

56=2y

Divode both sides by 2

y=23

Recall earlier that x=60-y

x=60-23=37

Dr Potter gave 37 polio vaccinations and 23 measles vaccination.

because you set up your problem: 3c+2+2c-7=90
then combine all like terms: 5c-5=90
Add 5 to both sides: 5c=95
then divide both sides by 5: c=19
Plug in your answer: 3(19)+2=59
